CHINESE TRAVELLERS.
How They Buy through Agents
and How They Make Money.

The Chinese purchaser of overland tickets
is just now an object of considerable interest
on 'the street, The breaking down of
the rules concerning commissions on tickets
has left margin for the competitive agents
to secure business at different prices. The
Chinese passenger is supposed to be tick
eted third class ct uniform rate. by the
various lines. Here, however, the ingenuity
of the Chinaman is not defeated A knowl-
edge of the value of the club system, or
excursion party system, seems to have
penetrated to Chinatown. A sleek China
man, who possesses a knowledge of the
English language, drops into the ticket
several friends. He is given to understand
that there is uniform rate and a COM
mission. In the commission there is a
chance for the Chinese agent, for such he
is, and regularly engaged in the business,
to name the route over which the party
shall go. The road that pays the best COM
mission gets the busines, for the Chinese
negotiator can make reduction for his
friends out of his commission, although he
is instructed that none of the commission
shall GO to the passenger. The faces of The
Cinnamon who can secure Chinese passen-
ger business are familiar on "the street
and in every ticket office, and diplomacy is
wasted in attempts to get the business they
bring, enough to accomplish very ingenious
and difficult undertakings if applied in
other directions.

The zunis ..sIab Bread. ;"

Perhaps one of the most curious delica-
cies, for such it was considered ever
known to the Zunis, was made not by
baking but by freezing. This was called
Thlem- mathi.to-we ("slab bread"). The
plain variety was simply thin mush re-
duced to paste by boiling, then placed be
tween two stones which were laid in cold
places and left until thoroughly frozen.
The unbaked batter of the tchik k'we- pa
Io-kia, or "sweet buried bread, exces-
sively boiled, then treated in this manner,
made what we might call an exceedingly
coarse ice-cream and certainly priced as
highly by these ancients. to say the least,
